Shane Brittain is the overnight leader in the 2006/2007 West Australian Modified Production Sedan State Championships, after an absorbing night of competition at the Carnarvon Speedway on the Midwest coast of Western Australia.

Of the nine heats contested, Brittain was the only driver to win twice, and finished third in his other heat.

Brittain of Carnarvon, along with fellow Carnarvon driver Travis Jackson performed extremely well, though Jackson was the innocent party in a three car pile up, which saw Jackson suffer extensive damage to the front end in his final heat.

Brendan Selleck of Kalgoorlie, who was also involved in the same incident, is the second highest pointscorer. Selleck, earlier in the night won the Auto-pro – Hoppys Accessory Bar, Best Presented Car Award, with the standard of presentation extremely high. Selleck will start from position four in his final heat.

Youngster, Aydan Trewern of Albany is racing extremely well and sits third on the overnight pointscore, with a second, fifth and first placing from his heats.

Kevin Ellement sits in fifth place after Jackson, while another Albany youngster Sean Theyer is currently in sixth position.

The racing has been extremely close, with several races having very narrow margins, with the closest being Steve Beres defeating Kevin Ellement by 0.117 of a second in heat eight, with Kodee Brown narrowly downing John Purser by 0.150 of a second earlier in the night in heat three.
